Billionaire's Second Chance (Billionaires #16) - Jennifer Hartley Page 0,60
I pushed into her, it felt different this time. It was still hot, still filled with the same unbridled passion that continued to drive us toward one another, but now it was so filled with love and adoration that it was a bit slower, more exploratory. I wanted to take my time. I wanted to let her feel every inch of me within her, pressing and swelling against the inside of her body until she felt full and driven wild with a tantalizing delight. I thought about my child being inside of her right now, and it drove me wild as I moved steadily within her. The excitement of everything emotional made the physical sensation even greater as I made love to her. We would be able to do this all the time now, as much as we wanted. We could have each other every day, even several times a day, without having to hide or sneak around. The thought of making love to Clara every day for the rest of my life made my heart race inside my chest. I wanted to fulfill her every need, and I wanted to enjoy every moment of it.
Our arms and legs wound around each other as our hands explored each other’s bodies. She was so beautiful, and I couldn’t believe that she was finally mine. I thought about how much I couldn’t wait to create a wonderful, beautiful life with the woman I l had loved for practically my entire life and be a better father than my father. As our slow climb to ecstasy neared, I held her tightly and kissed her open mouth as I stared straight into her eyes. Everything I had ever wanted was right here with me now, a family that I was making all for myself. We didn’t need to be quiet anymore—not this time. When we couldn’t hold onto the moment any longer, and our bodies unraveled around each other, the moment was so intense and so encompassing that I could feel it inside every muscle and every bone in my body. I convulsed into tremors as I collapsed gently on top of her, holding the brunt of my weight off of her body with my elbows on the mattress beside her. Clara’s eyes smiled, and I felt her happiness rooted deep within my soul.
As we laid in bed afterward, I cradled her head against my shoulder while she laid on my chest. It was so nice to take our time. There was no rush and no looming dread that we would have to say goodbye without knowing when we would see each other next. It was utopia.
“Can I tell you some of the things that I’d like to do for the farm?” she asked as we laid in each other’s arms. “I mean, I know that we won’t be able to do all of them, and I know that your agreement with Scott was for necessary updating and not a bunch of optional stuff. But I just wanted to tell someone about the ideas that I had.”
I tilted my head down to kiss her forehead and then gently lifted her chin up with my finger so she could look in my eyes and know that I meant what I was about to say. “Anything that you want to have done on that farm, we will do,” I said. “If it’s something that is important to you, something that will make you happy or make our child happy, then it’s not optional to me; it’s necessary.”
“Really?” she asked with surprise. “But it’s expensive.”
I shook my head and laughed. “I will tell both you and Scott this for as many times as you need to hear me say it. I don’t care how much it costs. I know that you guys remember how things used to be for me when I lived here in town, but they’re no longer that way. I guess I’ve never really told you guys about it in-depth, but you remember how wealthy my parents were, right?”
“Yes,” she nodded.
“Well, I’m a hundred times wealthier than they ever had time to be,” I said with a smile. “I could outfit dozens of farms the same size as yours with the latest technology and trimmings, and I would still be a very wealthy billionaire after it was all said and done. Trust me when I say that we don’t need to spare any expense when it comes to your farm. Now shoot, tell me
